I agree. That is, in part, why I'm proposing a more "moderated" approach.
Get people to be responsible for picking what goes into what groups. This
can be done in two ways (hopefully concurrently) that are Keeping It
Stupidly Simple (hopefully):

1) said person, let's just call him "BOB" for now, whilst reading the list
(assume he/she is an active reader and not just a "d"-keyer), finds a good
post for the car/group/component he/she is in charge of. Bob puts it into
the Knowledge Base on the web and voila, we're done. One more piece of
info on the page, hopefully easy to find.
2) Bob is going about his day, and "Scott", also from the list, sees a
good post and forwards it to Bob. Bob reads it over, finds it a)
interesting, and puts it in, or b) unintersting and leaves it, or c) a
dupe, and leaves it.

Of course, Bob would put all his wealth of knowledge and his own personal
stash of archived messages up for the world to see as well.

For example, here is what I posted about audio upgrades for my 90q20v
(albeit non-urq related):
http://www.audifans.com/kb/moin.cgi/AudioUpgradeFor90q20v

Took me 30 seconds.

One with linked pictures and fancified text (not just cut'n'paste):
http://www.audifans.com/kb/moin.cgi/EuroLightUpgradeFor4kq

Agreed.
